This unit gives a survey and explanation of the archaeology of the Roman world from London through Rome to Alexandria, from Morocco to Armenia. The unit ranges widely, encompassing all the physical remains from Rome itself to rural villas and entire landscapes; tools, inscriptions and coins to the finest jewellery; pollen to food refuse. Themes include archaeology and history; urbanisation and urban development; agriculture, trade and industry; everyday life; and the archaeology of warfare. |

Supplementary assessment is not available in this unit except in the case of a bachelor's pass degree student who has obtained a mark of 45 to 49 and is currently enrolled in this unit, and it is the only remaining unit that the student must pass in order to complete their course. |
